(x-8)^2=(x-6)^2

Solution

(x - 8)^{2} = (x - 6)^{2}

Solution

x = 7

Solution steps

(x - 8)^{2} = (x - 6)^{2}

Expand

(x - 8)^{2} : x^{2} - 16 x + 64

Expand

(x - 6)^{2} : x^{2} - 12 x + 36

x^{2} - 16 x + 64 = x^{2} - 12 x + 36

Move

64

to the right side

x^{2} - 16 x = x^{2} - 12 x - 28

Subtract

x^{2} - 12 x

from both sides

x^{2} - 16 x - (x^{2} - 12 x) = x^{2} - 12 x - 28 - (x^{2} - 12 x)

Simplify

- 4 x = - 28

Divide both sides by

- 4

x = 7
